Best Answer

Those are LEDs (light emitting diodes). They are used because they 1) use far less electricity than incandescent bulbs, and 2) they are brighter (thought they actually do not produce the same lumen as regular incandescent hence the large array) and 3) they have a much longer lifespan than other bulbs.

What are led light?

Typical old fashioned traffic lights use incandescent bulbs and also generate some heat. Therefore, in colder climates the lights themselves helped keep the lights free of ice and snow. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) have now replaced the bulbs in many traffic lights because although they cost more, LED's last longer and use less power. However, they can be a problem in colder climates as noted.

How has the traffic light evolved over time?

Traffic lights do not evolve. However their design changes over time. For instance they now used colored LED lights instead of white light bulbs and colored filters. This means that they are cheaper and last longer without needing bulbs replaced.
